Yes. We tested and (recovered undamaged in liquid ballistic recovery containment) our 9mm diameter bullets @ over major 163PF and our 40 Cal bullets @ 167PF and there was no leading in ports, comp baffles or riflings. The coating and bullets were so well preserved that we could literally re-load and re-shoot those bullets. Our JB-A217® coating is made for major PF requirements, but your mileage may vary based on your barrel, COL, reloading techniques, propellants, crimp and charge weights.
Yes. As of August 2023, at least (9) nine states in the USA now have laws that make ANY Teflon (PTFE) "coated" or "polymer coated" bullet illegal. In those states, it is illegal to purchase, possess, use, manufacture, sell, transfer, distribute, receive and ship ANY "coated" or "polymer coated" bullet or ammunition projectile that has a Teflon (PTFE) component ingredient in its coating. It is a state and federal criminal offense for any FFL Licensee to ship ANY "coated" or "polymer coated" bullet which contains Teflon (PTFE) in its coating [to] or [within] those (9) nine USA states. Any person, FFL or manufacturer who sells and/or ships a Teflon (PTFE) "coated" or "polymer coated" bullet to a prohibiting state [from] a non-prohibiting state is in violation of state and federal laws and will be subject to criminal charges and revocation of their Federal Firearms License.
We are THE ONLY bullet manufacturer on Planet Earth that manufactures one-of-a-kind Hard Cast Bullets with an Exotic Polymer Coating. All of our coatings are proprietary. Our coatings are extremely valuable and are officially classified as intellectual secret property and are NOT for sale.
What we will tell you about our JB-A217® bullet coating:
It is our newest dedicated GEN IV exotic polymer bullet coating. It's a proprietary durable lubricative high temperature resistant heat-cured polymer base coating specifically formulated and manufactured for coating firearm bullet projectiles.
Extensive testing we've done with our JB-A217® bullet coating has shown a 40-110 FPS increase over comparable (weight, nose design and diameter) swaged metal jacketed bullet velocities, and a 30-80 FPS increase over any other comparable (weight, diameter and nose design) coated bullets sold in the USA. (We've tested them all). This means you can use less propellant to achieve the same velocities which saves you $$$ and lengthens brass life considerably.
This is especially attractive to our USPSA and IPSC shooting customers that demand a high velocity - lower charge weight ammunition.
We have pushed this coating to 2,990 FPS in long bull barreled specially designed test barrels with 24 BHN hard cast pistol bullets and the coating remained fully intact on the bullet with no leading.
This tenacious coating literally becomes an integral part of the bullet and cannot be removed by mere firing it through a barrel.
Our dedicated proprietary exotic polymer bullet coating does not outgas any known carcinogens/toxins - eg., (like PTFE/Teflon coatings).
Our JB-A217® exotic bullet coating far outperforms and exceeds the lubricating, temperature and velocity performance of ALL other available so called "bullet coatings" in the USA - that are merely re-purposed subpar Teflon threaded fastener coatings and powdercoating paint derivatives - ie., (CRAP).
Our GEN IV JB-A217® bullet coating costs us around nine times more to produce and use than if we bought a popular subpar so called "bullet coating" and used it like most competitors are doing. We won't settle for less. NO OTHER so called "bullet coating" available or used on the US coated bullets market can produce our superior results. PERIOD.
Yes. Contact us and we'll set you up with special pricing for whatever you need in larger quantities. Larger quantities are special order and are subject to longer wait times.
Yes. Unlike competitor coated bullets, any length barrel is fine with our polymer coated bullets. Competitor brands of coated pistol bullets can't be used in long rifle barrels or compensated/ported barrels due to their having a thin subpar powder-coating/paint coating that burns off, causes smoke and thick lead deposits when used with long carbine and rifle length barrels. NOTE: FOR SAFETY REASONS, our 9/38/357 round nose semi-pointed ogive design "RNFB" and "RNBB" bullets should NOT be used in ANY lever action or tube magazine where your magazine requires stacking cartridges end-to-end. Those type magazines require a wide flat nose bullet.
Unlike competitor coated bullets, all popular smokeless propellants can be used with any polymer coated bullet we sell.
NO! DO NOT attempt to misuse our products! 38 Special and 357 Mag 160gr bullets ARE NOT to be used in 9mm, 9X19, 9mm Para or 9mm Luger ammunition. You won't find ANY professional publicised reloading or propellant manufacturer powder data manual that will include a 160gr bullet for a 9mm cartridge due to safety and functional reliabilty reason(s).

No. We now offer (14) fourteen different diameters to cover all the bullets we currently sell. If we offer a diameter for a particular bullet, you can get it at no additional charge. You can also specify your order be 50/50 with two different diameters at NO charge. NO one else offers that.
No. (500) is our minimum order, unless you're buying our heavy 45 caliber rifle bullets, then it's less than (500).
No. For liability reasons, we do not sell uncoated bullets.
Our special order Foundry Lead Alloy consists of 5% Antimony, 3% Tin and Highly Refined three nines 99.9% Pure Lead as a base. This custom alloy is more expensive and better performing than 92-6-2 alloy when used with our dedicated proprietary polymer bullet coatings. All of our hard cast bullets are heat treated to a BHN 17.5 + (LB scale Starrett).

TRANSFER of ammunition component bullet projectiles to any other individual outside of your immediate family is in violation of Federal Law if you are not a properly licensed Federal Firearms Licensee.
